Backmasking in Stairway to Heaven

I heard about the backmasking in Stairway to Heaven, read what it apparently said so I checked it out myself. Downloaded the song, converted it into a
.wav and reversed it using windows sound recorder.
I have to admit it was quite freaky to hear it for myself. The longest backmasked quote was something like this: ‘Here’s to my sweet satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is satan. He’ll give you 666, there was a little toolshed where
he made us suffer, sad satan.

Members of Led Zepplin had been involved with the occult. There's motive.

Has anybody else tried this? Or think its authentic or a crock?

Yes I have known about this and many other songs that are very similar....

by the recording engineers and the nefarious mind that
initiated this 'satanic' connection, as a ruse to hype sales & controversy in their product....subtile, ingenious, and very capitalistic. I tip my
hat, Salute, the creator ...

a mere trick or two, at virtually no cost, or probably absolutely free...as the engineers were probably duped or challenged to rig-up a distorted,
reversed tape feed-in, to 'see' if it would be detected and if 'found' would it still generate consumerism of the product?
The Ultimate success, would be a cult following and or a 'cottage industry' that would survive and grow....
?bought your Reverse Speech Tape Product, yet?

Yeah, we did this # when I was 13, had my friends moms record player and an old vinyl of Stairway to heaven on a 45. We put the record player on
neutral speed, and pushed it.......all I heard was satan a few times. It was pretty cool!

Incidentally, If you play twisted sister burn in hell, or was it were not gonna take it......it will say # like "obey your parents, go to church,
stay in school, clean your room, ect. Im serious. Proof positive that this backwards # doesnt influence the human mind. How many bangers do you know
cleaned thier room, obey your parents!

Even if it was intentional, I don't see how anyone could get the message when just listening to it. Those things were hard to decipher even when
played in reverse. I know the brain is a powerful thing, but I find it hard to believe that you could subconciously listen to something forwards,
turn the track around in your mind, and decipher what is being said.

Backmasking is different, that is intentionally putting another track in the background, but Stairway to Heaven was Reverse Speech, that uses the
forward track to create the reverse track.

Anything that is truly intentional was put there to stir up controversy to sell records. The rest was simply found by people with too much time on
their hands.

One member, Jimmy Page. The others had no interest in the Occult whatsoever and Page always kept pretty quiet about his beliefs, even amongst the
other band members. It wasn't something he liked talking about.

I think you'll find if you reverse a lot of songs you're gonna find something that sounds like "satan". I'd bet money, that if you looked,
you could even find such messages on everything from Britney's latest CD to an old Bing Crosby LP.

According to this website (with sound samples) there are 6 other interpretations of what is said during 'Stairway To Heaven'.

Sound Engineers are notorious pranksters (especially the ones at Disney)...

Play the video of Aladdin... During the Whole New World song (before they get on the carpet), turn the volume to max, and you'll hear, quite
plainly, Robin Williams' voice saying "All good teenagers, take off your clothes!"

Video editors are likewise rather tricky, just watch the Lion King, and when Simba plops down on pride rock at night, as an adult, the dust flies up
and spells out the word "Sex" briefly (I caught this the first time I watched it, hehe...it's that obvious..)

I don't remember what song it was, but I think it was by queen. We put the record on the player, and pushed it backwards, and it said "it's fun
smokin marijuana, it's fun smokin marijuana". I found it to be hilarios.

I concur, it is fun to smoke marijuana, and if more people did it, they'd be less concerned with what is actually on a record when played backwards.
Come to think about it, we were probably chemically enhanced when we decided to play the damn record backwards.

I was VERY sober when I first started doing the backwards spin on vinyl. The chemical enhancement came later when recording what the record said
backwards, attempting to play that backwards message via tape recorder seeking further messages and saultations from the dark lord himnself.
